I bought a VPS server(Ubuntu operating system). I installed mysql-server and phpmyadmin. It works well, but now when I try access phpMyAdmin page I got this message:

#2002 No such file or directory <br /> The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

And in putty this error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'

How to restore missing socket?

You probably have a corrupt config file – Karl Johan Vallner Dec 28 '18 at 20:59
I deleted all mysql files or folders, and use this command: `sudo apt-get purge mysql`, now all is corrupted! – Mikey Dec 28 '18 at 21:02
I want to remove totally mysql and reinstall it, how to do this(`sudo apt-get purge mysql`, return an error) – Mikey Dec 28 '18 at 21:04
It's sometimes easier to just delete and recreate the server with a LAMP stack, if you messed up badly. Fixing configuration files, when you obviously are not a server manager, will probably be harder. – Karl Johan Vallner Dec 28 '18 at 21:04
Reinstalling mysql is a multi step process. Especially if you have old configuration files that will survive a purge. – Karl Johan Vallner Dec 28 '18 at 21:06
I think I will reset the server! – Mikey Dec 28 '18 at 21:15
